| Abstract: | The patient was a 63-year-old man who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for nutritional management while undergoing radiochemotherapy for hypopharyngeal and esophageal cancer. At about 6 months after PEG, redness and swelling were seen around the gastrostomy site, and pathological testing confirmed the same poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma as the hypopharyngeal and esophageal cancer. The tumor caused symptoms associated with buried bumper syndrome to increase significantly. |
